Longwave Capital points to strong offshore growth, with around 75% of revenue generated outside Australia and the Americas growing 27%, tying Imdex to the global exploration recovery. Spheria highlights consistent free cash flow, moderate gearing and continued gains in its share of the exploration wallet through integrated sensors and analytics, while Investors Mutual sees Imdex as a high-quality technology compounder.
Hayborough Investment Partners believes the valuation is starting to look full after a strong run and notes the Devico acquisition expanded the capital base, arguing Imdex should be earning higher returns on that capital. Investors Mutual also acknowledges the stock is not cheap, and earnings remain linked to the global mining exploration cycle.
